Windward Islands

French Polynesia

The most breathtaking wave in the world. On a large day Teahupo'o is the heaviest wave in the world due to its unique lagoon. My favorite spot to spend a day.

This was such a beautiful beach in Tahiti off Le Meridien
Sunset in Moorea
Nice relaxing pond
Hotels charge extra for overwater bungalows, but I prefer these. You have a beach right outside your door.
